Recreational ketamine use, especially among young people in nightclubs, causes both acute and chronic toxic effects. Acute effects include psychotic symptoms, hallucinations, and aggression that can lead to serious injuries. Chronic use leads to intractable urological problems, neuropsychiatric issues, gastrointestinal problems such as abdominal pain, and liver function abnormalities. This review summarizes current evidence on these toxicities.
